they do business with. Asim.

The weapons deal had to fail.

It was the opportunity

they needed.

Did someone on the inside

betray the North?

I only know

what I need to know,

but... I think

the North Korean agent

at the scene was double-crossed.

There is a sudden noise in the house.

Be careful.

Wiretapping

You have the phone records

from that time?

You want those?

I never mentioned

about reporting you

I have recorded everything

you've said here.

The word came out

of your mouth

How can I have passed the test?

It's a trap

We must run

Do you want it deleted?

Then you're gonna give me your

conversation with the f***ing commie.

Did you finish packing?

We'll make some record

for reporting purposes.

Looking for this?

Idiots...

I warned you to be careful.

Didn't l?

Allo...

Abdul!

Allo.

Sorry I'm late.

So... what happened to

your brother?

The Mossad executed him

without trial.

I found the rat who gave your brother

Asim over to the Israelis...

If you get on it now,

you can still catch him.

Who is it?

It's someone we both know.

Pyo Jong-seong.

Take this.

A shooting incident was

just reported to the police.

A North Korean interpreter

lives at the address.

Hey.

Can you tap ClA satellite

communication network?

Put a surveillance on all channels

within 20km radius.

Are you out of your mind?

Just do as I say for once.

Tapping is your expertise,

isn't it?

- See you again.

- Watch your back.

You're going to run

into the Mossad again one day,

and it won't be pretty.

Man, you talk too much.

Do you have a room?

I prefer not to fill out

the register.

Are you alright?

We should treat

your wounds first.

Hey, policeman.

I'm from the consulate.

Here to lD the victim.

OK?

Can you speak English?

- Nein.

- No?

We got a call from

a Korean student...

No problem.

Just a moment.

An Asian

from the consulate is here.

A single precision shot each

to the head and chest.

These bastards are not circumcised

and their dental work suggests

they're North Koreans.

I gotta get moving.

- Hey! Halt?

- Hi. I'll be right back.

Idiots.

Alright.

He killed all of

our comrades and escaped.

- He's good, huh?

- We'll get him.

Okay. First,

have your men search every hotel

within ten kilometers.

Their names will not be on record.

So look for a couple who paid in cash

and checked-in in the last 1 0 minutes.

How certain are you of this?

It's what he taught me.

If you're being hunted,

hide right under the hound's nose.

Allo.

Hey. Allo.

This is a direct order from the boss.

Search every hotel within 10Km radius.

Look for a man and a woman

who paid cash and

didn't fill out the register.

I'm sending you their picture.

Sir, the keywords 'North Korea,' 'Abdul,'

and 'Assim' emerged on ClA satellite network.

- Language used is Arabic.

- Arabic? What's the location?

It's concentrated in the 1 0Km radius

of the shooting scene.

Give us the traitor.

I'd like to,

but I need to get them

back as a set.

Hey, listen man.

If I become the director of Berlin.

Then we can cut out the broker.

Everything will be

cheaper and faster.

We can pack up some super-notes for you

if you want.

Because no one better

dollars than we do.

But that's only after you drag out

this bastard's corpse, isnt' it?

Trust me.

Where are you?

It's a couple?

Jong-seong,

when you're blocked by the sea,

sing Arirang a semitone down

and whistle the chorus.

there was a suspicion that

Lee Hak-su

Arirang

would smuggle his private

assets and defect.

When Kim Jong-un's men pocketed

profit from illegal weapons trade.

The deal was handled

by Dong Jung-ho.

And your name popped up

in the process.

The Whistle

When the Americans tracked

down the Macau account.

Dongs had to clean up the mess

in order to stay in the game.

How can we suspect the loyalty of a man

who will report his own wife

if there are

suspicious circumstances?

I want you to think hard

why Dong Myung-su came here

and why your wife is

suspected of spying.

Listen to me carefully.

Dong Myung-su

is setting me up to make it appear

that I sold classified information.

He is trying to turn me

and Lee Hak-su into traitors

and take over the Berlin office.

If that's true,

what are we doing here?

Can we ever go back to Pyongyang?

We'll go separate ways from here.

Where will you go?

I can prove our innocence to the Party.

You must trust me.

The Party, the people,

even the fatherland can all suspect me.

But you...

you should have believed in me.

Will you defect or something?

How can you be so cruel?

Kill me whenever you want.

But now is not the time.

We're not here to kill you.

But if you continue to resist,

we have no choice.

You have ten seconds to decide.

One.

Two.

Three.

We're getting out alive,

all three of us.

Seven.

Eight.

That's all you gotta think about.

Ten!

Hey!

You only got the woman?

You said there would be only two!

You gave us incorrect information!

There was another man there.

What? Another guy?

A Yankee?

They said he looked like you.

It's a South Korean.

Welcome South Korean guy.

You've really gone too far.

This is getting interesting.

Let me get this straight.

My team breaks up

the arms deal Yuri set for Asim

and you'll hand both

of them over to us?

I don't believe you.

Take the wheel,

if you want to hear the rest.

It's been so long.

This is why I like you so much.

Why do you think the Mossad

let you go at the hotel?

From Macau to Berlin,

arms dealing, diplomatic office,

spying, assassination and defection.

How do they all link up?

The account that Lee Hak-su

held as a hidden card,

the 4 billion dollar fund that

Kim Jong-il left behind is the key.

After his death,

they had to transfer the funds

to the new leader

and change the people

that manage the account.

Neither Pyongyang nor Lee Hak-su

could trust each other.

As far as Pyongyang is concerned,

the diplomatic offices' loyalty

to the new leader is questionable.

So, they decided to change everyone

with those they trust.

You've been discarded

in the process.

You're totally f***ed.

You're wrong.

It's not the Republic

that betrayed me.

Do we use different Korean

in North and South these days?

You need to get the facts straight.

This is all Dong Jung-ho's act.

Who?

The father of the assassin that

killed your ClA friend.

The secret account belongs

to Dong Jung-ho and his allies,

not to Comrade Chairman

Kim Jong-il.

Lee Hak-su was part of that

circle and got betrayed.

Where the hell is that bastard?

Think about who you saw

at the hotel.

Your husband has

crossed over to South.

It's over.

You can't be waiting for the scumbag

who abandoned his wife to save himself?

Think about it.

Testify on your husband's

double-crossing charges.

I'll take care of the rest.

Do you expect to live after

what you have done to us?

Who would know about it?

Who knows about this place?

The person who used to use it.
